Architectural Beauty of the Old Cape As Seen by Arthur Elliot: Photographs of houses and farmsteads now largely demolished or ruined, taken at the beginning of the twentieth century is a collection of back and white photographs selected and annotated by Hans Fransen, curator of the Stellenbosch Museum.

Arthur Elliott (1870, New York – 20 November 1938, Cape Town), was a South African photographer who recorded the passing scene at the Cape. His love of Cape Dutch architecture is expressed in some 10,000 photographs of considerable artistic and historic merit, creating an unrivalled pictorial record of early 20th century buildings at the Cape.
